HAving worked with Kevin and watched him play over the past 10 or so years I don't think there is a better professional. He is a skillful and inteligent player who leads his team well and often turns a game.

So why is he never even nominated for Man of Steel? Crazy!

There is a twitter campaign for Sir Kevin to be given the freedom of the city.#LeedsCityKeyforKev

We've all been baffled by this for years.

Its the old "everybody hates leeds" situation,nobody voted for leeds players or very few anyway, hes unfortunate that he plays for such a successful club, and we will be hated even more no we won it from fifth.

Bur Sir Kev is well worth the accolade of " Man of Steel", how he is not compared in the same light as Rangi "Im now english coz i cant get in the kiwi side" is beyond belief, just what will it take for this great to be recognised by his peers, trying not to look through the green glasses of course.

Waht did rangi do that was outstanding this year, score a great try in the semi, i have not seen enough of him live but what i have seen of him on sky this season, he couldnt lace the great ones boots.

I think you've taken your username too seriously.

Sir Kevin hasn't had the greatest season by his high standards, and given that the award is voted for before the Grand Final, he was never really in the running. 2005 was another story...

Rangi Chase trailed off a bit at the end of the season, but he was a one man army for the first half of the season.

I'd probably still have gone for Tomkins or Roby mind you, but this was not Sir Kevin's year.

To be honest,

I don't think he's that bothered by awards and accolades.

Aside from of course his:
2 League Leaders Shields
2 World Club Challenge Medals
His Harry Sunderland Award
His Lance Todd Trophy
5 Super League Grand Final Winner's rings
4 Super League Dream Team Appearances
His Rhinos Player of the Year Award
Oh, and Super League's record points scorer award.

Other than that, he can take or leave awards really.

I'm getting a big "In Sir Kev We Trust" flag made for next season, only problem being we're struggling to get a decent photo to turn into the print of him. Anyone reckon the club would help if I asked them?

That's a great idea!

I think more of a big deal needs to be made about sinfield at games, we need some banners and more songs for him. He should be treated like a god, like cunningham at saints or dalglish at liverpool.

My full support for this one.

We always wanted to have a Sir Kev version of this made:



With 'POWER TO THE RHINOS' written on it.

Given all the deserved praise for Kevin Sinfield on this thread. I have to remind you all that there were only 4000 plus at his testimonial a few years ago! Very poor! He deserved more.

IMO KS is one of the best players to have ever played for Leeds.
